LE Tielfing Race Request

[Eshenaleros]

First off, I'd like to thank whoever has the will to sit through this request and take it seriously. The Nexus community has always been wonderful for that sort of thing.

 

I'd like to request a new race mod; nothing particularly major, but it's important to have the option for me as I would very much love to use it. What I'm requesting is tieflings, which are humans that have ancestry among fiends (devils, demons, or, in this case, dremora, among others). This concept initialy comes from Dungeons and Dragons Planescape, an old setting for the 2nd edition game that eventually became the default cosmology for the game in 3.0 and 3.5, though was later abandoned in favor of the odd astral sea thing in 4e. This request carries a pitfall or two that I'll try to address, but that I can't properly handle on my own, first as the CK crashes my computer and second because I have no experience with blender or whatever program you make meshes with.

 

Down to the nitty gritty: the easiest way to make this race, from my understanding, would be to carbon copy another race, and then make adjustments to it. If this is true, I'd like the base we work with to be Breton as I like the appearance of it the best. This, as far as I understand it, would give us all the things that mods add to the bretons, such as hair styles, complexions, and similar. This is important because Apachii's hair is something I always use on my breton characters and I'm certain other users would appreciate having the option of using them.

 

The second thing is the eyes; I would absolutely love to have slitted eyes on a tiefling character, as I try to get such for any tiefling character I have due to the appealing nature of it visually. I don't know if this works as well as it would in Oblivion, as I can't use the Creation Kit to check, but I imagine the easiest way of doing this would be to add argonian eye textures to the breton eye selection.

 

Third is the horns. There's actually an easy way of handling this, as someone has already done the necessary work to figure out how to put horns on a player race that will even go through helmets and the like if you put them on. Such a thing can be found in the Drakian Race by Coolster. Reverse engineering this (With permission, obviously) would allow us to get horns on the tiefling race.

 

Fourth is likely the most difficult of the bunch; a tail. I scoured the Nexus, but at current there are no tail mods specifically for a demonic race, so this would have to be crafted from scratch. Adjusting a khajiit tail to be thinner with a spade or diamond tip and using a human skin tone texture matching the skin tone of the player character seems like it would be easiest way to go about doing this. Hell, I'd do it myself, but I'd probably botch the whole deal, even if I could wrap my head around blender and nifscope. Reasonably speaking, this can be left out of the final product if that would make things easier. I want it, but that doesn't make it necessary.

 

Finally, stats are an important part of the characterization that I'm envisioning, and I'd request the following (thought obviously the final product is how the mod maker chooses to put it down):

+50 Magicka

30% resistance to Fire and Cold

+10 Conjuration, Sneak

+5 Destruction, Illusion, Enchanting

 

To anybody that's still reading this request after all that, I thank you for your patience and consideration, and sincerely hope someone is willing to do this :thumbsup:

Actually there is a succubus race. It's not the Tiefling race we know and love from D&D but it's pretty close (and damn hot!)

[Eshenaleros]

Well yeah, I've seen that race, but... it's not really what I'm looking for. In fact, looking at it again, it doesn't really do anything that I want, except maybe horns, and I'm not even sure about that one. Plus, as a person who plays male characters almost exclusively, the Succubus doesn't actually do anything for me. Thanks though :sweat: Edited October 5, 2012 by Eshenaleros

Would it be possible to get the horns, slitted eyes, and tail from the argonian race and put them on a breton body? I'm sure it would need some fine tuning to look good (like change the tint of the skin and such).

[Eshenaleros]

theoretically, yes, but it'd look kind of bad. Because of the odd headshape of the argonian heads, which the argonian horns are fitted to, we'd have free floating horns disconnected from the head of this custom race. This would also leave us with the reptilian ridges you find on the argonian tail.

 

The eyes, on the other hand, wouldn't be so bad. As long as the meshes stay human, the textures should be able to be swapped over with little fanfare

[Grimoa]

Did you look up the few Dremora Rece mods available? That's like the TES counterpart to the Tieflings.

 

Edit: Oooor... "skyrim is a little fauny" or something like that. That mod puts optional horns on every race. Plus go through all the fancy eye mods, I'm sure there's more than one with slitted eyes. Et voila, a Tiefling! (Although with normal skin color and without tail.) But Tieflings are part human, are they not? ;)

 

I know it's not a new race, but it I thought I put it in anyways.
